      abstract = {In an era in which leadership and change management  models, tools and development schemes based on soft skills  constitute the mainstream thought, it has become ever more  necessary to develop a scientific and rigorous approach to  the life of an organization that can overcome the  challenges of different cultural approaches and  socio-environmental limitations. In this ground-breaking  new book, the author puts forward a universal model for  designing an organization. The model is based upon first  principles, theoretical properties as well as upon  empirical approaches to organizational development so as to  form a new model under the name of "Organizational  Structuralism". By deploying this new model, organizations  will be able to design a new organization from its  foundations, improve and change fundamental organizational  structures, define and fine-tune key performance indicators  and enhance its competitive advantages. Ultimately,  "Organizational Structuralism" will allow Scholars,  Researchers and University Academics as well as  Practitioners, Managers and Executives to be in possession  of a comprehensive model that is able to respond  effectively and efficiently to every disruptive or  non-continuous evolutionary change caused either by the  digital transformation or by the geopolitical,  environmental and cultural challenges of organizations. The  structural properties of an organization are developed and  analysed at various organizational levels: from the  organizational microstructures, defined as Organizational  Quanta up to a general perspective of Organizational  structuring based on a completely new Organizational Field  Theory. Hence, a comprehensive approach based on a  multidisciplinary analysis of organizational life and of  its main evolutionary dynamics constitutes the main driver  of this book.
